<p>The VOR/VTOL MFD mode is a navigational instrument used for surface flight and vertical takeoff and landing. In addition to altitude and airspeed readouts it can display a graphical indicator of the relative position of a VOR (very high frequency omnidirectional range) navigation radio transmitter.</p>

<p>This MFD mode can be slaved to one of the ship's NAV receivers. The current receiver and frequency are shown in the upper right corner of the display. If a signal is received, the transmitter ID is displayed in the second line. If the ship supports more than a single NAV receiver, a different receiver can be selected with <kbd class="ctrl">Shift</kbd> <kbd>N</kbd>. To set the receiver frequency, use the <a href="mfd_com.htm">COM/NAV</a> MFD mode.</p>

<p>The instrument can also be used for vertical instrument landing (VTOL). When slaved to a VTOL transmitter, the target indicator shows the relative position of the corresponding launch pad.</p>

<p>Another useful MFD mode for instrument-guided surface flight is the <a href="mfd_hsi.htm">HSI</a> mode.</p>
